What Our Students Say

“LagosBjjLab was exactly what I needed to elevate my grappling to the next level. Joao is a very knowledgeable blackbelt instructor  who was able to explain technique and philosophy in a way that benefited my style. If you are traveling through portugal or living there I highly recommend checking LagosBjjLab. Big thank you!”

“I've had quite a few private lessons over the years i've been doing BJJ and Joao is by far the best teacher I've had. He's extremely knowledgable, very patient, highly communicative and genuinely cares. Most important of all, he's really good at applying his knowledge and understanding to the specifics of your individual skill level, body mechanics, style & athletic ability. And that's the critical difference between a good teacher and a great teacher. Joao will analyse your game and show you exactly how to make it better. Back of the envelope calculation: I'd say that one hour with him is worth months of group classes. So whether you're trying to plug some holes, break out of a plateau or just accelerate your progression, you'll step off the mat better than when you stepped on. Massively recommended.”

"I had a great experience with João’s personal training. My friend trained with him and was truly impressed – João helped him organize his BJJ game and take it to the next level. The sessions were professional, motivating and very effective. Because of this, he already wants to come back to Portugal for another holiday and more training. Highly recommended!"
